How To Wish Properly
By Penelope Pendragon

Over many centuries and generations gone by, the word WISH has been misconstrued. Contrary to popular belief, a WISH is not a WANT. Nor is it even a desire for that matter. The word WISH is an acronym that stands for “What Is Stated, Happens”. Therefore, anything that is stated as if it is true, becomes a WISH and will likely be granted.

Statements like “Traffic is Terrible” or “I’m having a horrible day” can easily spiral into misery with enough power of thought behind them. The term “Be careful what you WISH for” becomes remarkably apparent when you think of WISHes in this way.

As a WISH Facilitator I teach children (although adults catch on relatively quickly) that a good WISH is executed as follows:

A good WISH is… Present, as in Present Tense. As stated earlier, the word WISH stands for What Is Stated, Happens. You should state your WISH as if it were already true and then your WISH can come to you. A good way to start your WISH is with “I am”, “It is” or “I have”.

A good WISH is… Positive, so use ONLY Positive words. Before stating your WISH, be sure there are no negative words, feelings or connotations. The universe does not understand Don’t. It doesn’t understand Don’t, Can’t, Won’t, Not, or Never, so avoid the use of those words when stating your WISH. WISH for what you DO want, not what you DO NOT want.

A good WISH is… Personal. You only have choice over your own life and your own actions. Therefore, a good WISH is Personal... unless you have Permission from the other person to WISH for them. For example: If a loved one is ill, the only way for their WISH to be granted true is if they WISH it for themselves. If they do truly WISH for a positive outcome, then your WISH will help theirs become more powerful. If they don’t, it doesn’t.

Once you have your WISH formulated, it should be stated with Purpose. Believe in what you are WISHing can indeed be granted true. Put Passion behind your WISH and your belief that this WISH is indeed possible. Give it Power! After all, we are all magnets and the more power a magnet has, the better it works.

Be sure to Picture your WISH in your head. Daydream about experiencing exactly what you are WISHing for. Daydreaming is a very powerful WISHing Technique. So are vision boards if your WISH is a big one.

You should also be Proactive with your WISH. A WISH will often just fall in your lap, but you can’t expect a doctorate degree to just “fall in your lap”. You must be Proactive by taking the necessary steps to help facilitate your WISH.

Be sure to Pay Attention. When a WISH is guided to you, or you are guided to it; if you aren’t paying attention to the signs and signals the universe is sending you, you could easily pass right by your WISH without even realizing it.

Be Patient… Once your WISH is ready, and you are ready for your WISH, please understand that some WISHes take time. I WISHed for a gazebo that was parked in front of a neighbor’s house. He offered it to me the first time for $30,000. Three years later he offered it to me for $18,000. I certainly didn’t have $30,000, or even $18,000 to spend on it, so my WISH was simply, “That’s my gazebo.” I wasn’t sure how I was going to get it, but I knew it was mine. Six years after I first inquired, he called my boyfriend one morning and told him to “Just get it out of my yard.” Why? Because, that was MY gazebo (still is).

Before (and after), your WISH is granted true, be sure to give Praise. Be grateful for your WISH being granted true. Be grateful for the universe and how magically it works. Be grateful that you have the power (and knowledge) to get your WISHes granted true.

And most importantly… Pay It Forward. If you hear of a WISH, and you have the power to facilitate that WISH, do it without hesitation. Trust me when I tell you that this is the BEST part!
